Description “During the 1st World War my father, the astrophysicist and mathematician E.A. Milne (1896-1950) ... became one of `Hill's Brigands'. They were a research group of talented mathematicians and physicists formed by the eminent physiologist A.V. Hill (1886-1977) ... Their work has become recognized as the foundation of anti-aircraft gunnery here and abroad.”
